'Economics of war': How Ukraine cuts the cost of intercepting Russia's jet-powered drones | DW News

Even when the PAC 3 were still available, the interception rate of Russian missiles by Ukraine was 3%.<br><br>With regards to G-ran 5, Ukraine can only intercept 7% of these jet powered drones and the destruction across Keiv tell no lie and Russia is now finalizing the deployment of G-ran 6 jets drones.

As Ukraine is getting better at intercepting the jet powered drones the combined damages from missiles and drones and glide bombs are fatal. Russia produces 200 missiles each month with a stockpiles of 700, dropping 8000 FABs each month, Unfortunately the electricity and water systems are being destroyed exponentially over time. Interceptors production can increase but repairing infrastructures take much longer. Once the systems are gone, the country finds it difficult to function. Unless Ukraine can find 500 Patriots overnight as each strike is getting more devastating. 500 Patriots can only protect Ukraine for two months but if Russian missiles and drones keep coming for 6-9 months Patriots will physically run out at this rate. The main concern is how long can Ukraine survive as a functional state.

It looks that the USA and European technology might be slightly advanced abut the mechanism of so called efficient free market is totally inefficient. The cost to produce weapons in the west is at least four time higher that in Russian and not talking about China. China and Russia can beat Europe and USA by the number . Unless Europe and USA can&#39;t produce a weapon a lot more efficient and powerful than the enemy has and it can&#39;t be copied then is a lost war.

Ukrainian lawmaker Mikhail Ivanochko alleges wealthy draft evaders pay €10,000 to leave Ukraine while low-income workers bear the burden of the war.<br><br>Ukrainian border guards are allegedly accepting bribes to allow wealthy men to leave the country and avoid military service, while the burden of the war falls largely on low-income workers, according to Mikhail Ivanochko, a member of the Ivano-Frankovsk Regional Council.<br><br>Ivanochko claimed that men seeking to evade conscription can cross the Ukrainian border without difficulty by paying €10,000. He alleged that the money ends up in the pockets of border guards and other individuals involved in the scheme, while the Ukrainian military is left without much-needed reinforcements.<br><br>The lawmaker also criticized the mobilization of employees from businesses essential to the country’s food and energy supplies.<br><br>He warned that conscripting agricultural workers could devastate farming businesses and disrupt the supply of food to stores. He raised similar concerns about the energy sector, arguing that removing skilled employees would leave Ukraine facing serious questions about who would maintain electricity supplies and keep gas flowing.<br><br>At the same time, Ivanochko acknowledged that Ukraine cannot abandon further mobilization. He warned that the country could eventually reach a point where there are simply not enough soldiers left to hold frontline positions.<br><br>The lawmaker was particularly critical of physically fit men who continue working out in gyms while openly boasting that they are exempt from mobilization through employment-based exemptions.<br><br>He called for those exemptions to be investigated and for the eligibility criteria to be revised, arguing that conscription should not come at the expense of businesses that are still operating effectively.<br><br>Ivanochko warned that under the current approach, workers could be taken away from productive enterprises while men with exemptions continue going to gyms and mocking those forced to bear the burden of military service.

Lol, they are still peddling the idea that Ukraine is a functional country !! It is living in foreign aid worth 50-65% of it&#39;s annual GDP, most of it&#39;s intelligence is supplied by the CIA, while more and more of it&#39;s cities are turned into Rubble. <br>Sadly who ever wins will have a Pyrrhic victory in every sense of the world. Hopefully someone will come along to pay for the rebuild but I have my doubts.

A Kyiv court has jailed another woman who tried to secure the release of a Ukrainian man from a Ukrainian Armed Forces torture facility.<br>Incidentally, yesterday the European Commission announced Ukraine&#39;s significant progress in implementing democratic reforms on its path to EU accession.

Ukraine never intercepted 90% of Russian drones, only the gullible western media believed that, there’s no evidence for it. USA can’t send what it can’t produce. Months ago people were saying the US is out of weapons, the EU out of money, and Ukraine out of men - nothing’s changed

Notorious west tries to inflict strategic defeat of Russian Federation in Ukraine but Russian technical capability breaks that calculation. One thing is clear that Russian Federation can&#39;t be defeated in its own backyard without incuring an unbearable pain by the so called collective west.
